Hi, The ISP technician showed up but just upgraded the TV portion. He told us to call tech-support to get 2 IPs, so I think there is no need to have a new cable modem. I did not contact them yet as I am not sure if we can hook up both 2 IPs to 2 NICs on the router.
A friend with ADSL told me that you need a hub, the modem goes to the uplink-port, then 2 of the other ports of the hub will be the 2 different IPs. You could connect 2 computers into those to work. Suppose that's the same for the cable modem, if I connect them to 2 NICs in the router, would they work and how can I modify the DHCP client. Charles, you mentioned something about the public DMZ network. Could you explain me a little bit more so I can see if it is worth to have 2 IPs or not. ----- from the network.txt help ---- Route packets to a DMZ network. This is a fairly advanced configuration. Use this setup if you have registered a block of public IP addresses, and your ISP is willing to route packets for this public space to your LRP box... ----- -----Original Message----- From: Ray Olszewski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 28, 2002 10:41 AM To: Binh Do; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Re: [Leaf-user] How to connect the router with 2 external IPs At 01:03 PM 1/28/02 -0500, Binh Do wrote: >Our cable ISP is going to give us another IP so we will have two IPs.

The questions you ask are unanswerable as posed. You need to tell us: 1. What physical devices is the ISP providing to you to handle the two addresses? For example, are you getting 2 cable modems, or are you still using a single cable modem provided by the ISP? 2. How are the two dynamic IP addresses actually assigned? Since you say "cable ISP", I'm guessing DHCP, but we need to know what your ISP has actually told you about this. (I don't actually know how it is possible to assign 2 DHCP addresses to the same cable modem line, but perhaps someone else has seen this implemented.) It probably told you how to connect 2 Windows computers, for example; in summary form, what procedure did it describe? 3. Which LEAF variant are you using? With what physical and logical interfaces? 5. What do you mean by "control both of them"? How do you want to use the 2 addresses? -- ------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"--- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, CA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
